the grounds looked beautifully maintained. wonderful walking routes were available on the hotel. the bedroom included a large bathroom with a bath and a separate, powerful shower.
I stayed for two nights and had an issue getting food one evening. we ate food in the bar that room service delivered. a manager approached us and berated us for eating in an area where eating was not allowed. This felt pretty pointless.

fine ground garden view quiet room poor service dirty table decimated buffet
The resort has fine grounds. I especially enjoyed the beautiful walks available. The hotel rooms are quiet and comfortable. I also liked the lovely garden view with its own patio.
I found a lack of training among the staff. The breakfast service did not meet expectations. Staff walked around past dirty tables. The buffet seemed decimated, without being replenished.
